Tablespoons per second to Litres per second conversion

How to convert tablespoons per second to litres per second?

To convert from tablespoons per second (tbsp/s) to liters per second (L/s), you first need to know the volume of one tablespoon in liters.

The United States customary tablespoon is equivalent to approximately 14.7868 milliliters (mL). Knowing that 1 liter (L) is equal to 1,000 milliliters (mL), you can convert tablespoons to liters by using the following conversion factor:

$\text{1 tablespoon} = 14.7868 \, \text{mL}$ $14.7868 \, \text{mL} = 0.0147868 \, \text{L}$

Now, to convert 1 tablespoon per second to liters per second:

$1 \, \text{tbsp/s} = 1 \times 0.0147868 \, \text{L/s}$ $1 \, \text{tbsp/s} = 0.0147868 \, \text{L/s}$

So, 1 tablespoon per second is equivalent to 0.0147868 liters per second.

Real World Examples for Other Quantities of Tablespoons per Second

1. Cooking and Food Preparation

   • If a recipe requires you to add 3 tablespoons of oil per minute continuously, you can convert this to tables per second: $3 \, \text{tbsp/min} \times \frac{1 \, \text{min}}{60 \, \text{s}} = 0.05 \, \text{tbsp/s}$
   • Converting to liters per second: $0.05 \, \text{tbsp/s} = 0.05 \times 0.0147868 \, \text{L/s} = 0.00073934 \, \text{L/s}$

2. Industrial Mixing

   • An industrial machine might pump an additive at 20 tablespoons per second. Converting this to liters per second: $20 \, \text{tbsp/s} = 20 \times 0.0147868 \, \text{L/s} = 0.295736 \, \text{L/s}$

3. Beverage Dispensing Systems

   • A commercial beverage dispenser might dispense liquid at a rate of 5 tablespoons per second: $5 \, \text{tbsp/s} = 5 \times 0.0147868 \, \text{L/s} = 0.073934 \, \text{L/s}$

4. Laboratory Chemical Drip

   • In a controlled lab experiment, a chemical might need to be added at a precise rate of 0.1 tablespoons per second: $0.1 \, \text{tbsp/s} = 0.1 \times 0.0147868 \, \text{L/s} = 0.00147868 \, \text{L/s}$

These conversions demonstrate how you can change the flow rate in tablespoons per second to a more standard unit like liters per second, which is commonly used in scientific and industrial contexts.
